Amidst our current culture that still struggles to say “no” and find our “best yes,” we meet a king who is the ultimate people pleaser - always saying “yes” at any cost in order to gain favor and maintain his ego. He seems to beg others to find their favor in him, as he estimates his own worth based on their impressions of him. But finding favor from others demands scorekeeping, and the seduction of idolatry - of oneself.

=============================

Reflection:

=============================

✅ Whose favor are you seeking more than that of God? What about them causes you to desire their favor and acceptance more than God?

✅ In what subtle ways do you petition others to seek your approval and favor?

✅ Earlier I said the line: “I don’t have favorites, but if I did, it would be you.” Favor is the Latin root of the word favorite and means “preferred before all others of the same kind.”

Can you believe you are God’s favorite and preferred before all others of the same kind? Why or why not?
